hopscotch

You know how I have such a hard time naming quilts? Well, I finally came up with a solution. I called on my blog friend, Susan (who is one creative + clever gal), and she agreed to help me name my quilts!!! I'm quite excited to have her on my "creative team". Thank you, Susan!

This little quilt is made up from scraps and white muslin from my stash. I didn't have anyone in mind when I started making it-I just wanted to try a slightly different style of random piecing and I wanted to use up some scraps. It was challenging for my little brain to figure out the math so the squares would go to the edges of the quilt, but it was worth it. I love how it turned out.The backing and binding came from my stash as well.

It measures approximately 36" x 44".I will be sending it to the Mountain Baby Blankets project. It's good to know that this little quilt will help keep some baby warm at night.

Great quilt! I'm planning to have an "off-grid" alignment of blocks similar to what you did. How did you fill the irregular white space in between? Did you just cut and measure as you went along, or did you plan it all out? Any hints would be appreciated! Cheers, Christine (paetzoldc[at]gmail[dot]com)

Hi there! I just love this quilt, if you decide to write the pattern I would love to make it too! I have never used crisp white in my quilts, and you have inspired me to attempt it! I am half way there with an attempt! Thankyou!

Okay, I just found this and I LOVE it. I also love the "pete and repete" quilts you made for your boys. I also have two boys and would love to make quilts like these for them. Could you possibly post a tutorial about this? I love the random sizes of the squares.

Just found your blog today it's wonderful. This is so pretty, fresh, springy. I have been wanting to give this type quilt a try. I think beautiful quilt and a great cause. Thanks for the inspiration. thank you for shearing your post.
